Score 85/100Text Widget oEmbed has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
Based on the provided static analysis and vulnerability history, the "text-widget-oembed" plugin v1.0 exhibits a remarkably strong security posture. The absence of any identified entry points like AJAX handlers, REST API routes, or shortcodes significantly limits the attack surface. Furthermore, the code demonstrates excellent practices with zero dangerous functions, all SQL queries using prepared statements, and 100% of output properly escaped. The lack of file operations, external HTTP requests, and critically, the absence of nonce and capability checks, while appearing as potential weaknesses, are mitigated by the plugin's minimal interaction points and lack of dynamic data processing, suggesting a very simple and contained functionality.
